I read about Days of Being Dumb the other day. I hope it's better than the other Tony Leung comedies I've seen but the title isn't too promising.
I saw Kitchen in the cinema for some reason. I found it really dull. But I've been wrong before, so enjoy!

Stop bursting my bubble, both of you.

If these two turn out to be duds, I'm no longer picking my own matchups for this bracket :-\.

Assuming these two haven't been taken by someone else since Monsieur pix disappeared, my next match-up will be,

Red Rose White Rose Vs. Autumn Moon.

Sorry Bill.

Red Rose White Rose  (Stanley Kwan, 1994, Hong Kong)
vs
Red Firecracker, Green Firecracker  (He Ping, 1994, China)
Perhaps? ;)
yeah, sure.

I should have a verdict posted by tomorrow.
-Le Chiffre: You changed your shirt, Mr Bond. I hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

I should have a verdict posted by tomorrow.

This might be done by tonight actually. I'm thinking of going out all guns blazing. I'll post two different verdicts. A short, concise review briefly explaining my choice, and another verdict, the latter being rather self-indulgent, wordy and spoilerific.

Have I been ignorant or did the list on page one receive a major update?

Nah, I've been updating that all along.  Or, rather, I had been.  Until the incident.
